OSC cameras

I'm thinking of getting another OSC as an alternative to DSLR and or mono LRGB which the latter seems a struggle to string consecutive hours let alone nights together at the moment.
I have owned a QHY 8 and QHY10- both of which I quite liked.
I had an SX H14C but the chip was too small for me.
Having read the article on this IIS about OSC I would be trying to oversample to make up for the loss of sensitivity with OSC. At between 800-1000fl that would mean quite small pixels.
I wondered about the Sony ICX sensor -3.69um pixels with 1000 fl would give me 0.76 which would be ridiculously over sampling for my seeing on average.
The 814C Trius crossed my mind, as did the QHY 12
or even getting another QHY 8 and using it with a TV powermate on my 925mm refractor?!!
I aim to have a choice of 925mm frac, and 800 & 1000mm fl newts (8 inch and 10inch f4).
Comments, thoughts, invited as no firm plans yet.
